Conflict-induced displacement is generating increased protection concerns, including targeting of civilians, physical and sexual violence, targeted destruction of property, separation of families, and psychosocial trauma, according to the U.N. Additional Protection Cluster—the coordinating body for humanitarian protection activities, comprising U.N. agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and other stakeholders—staff are needed to enhance mainstreaming of protection activities in humanitarian response programs. USAID/OFDA partner Mercy Corps recently conducted a rapid needs assessment of markets in Abyei Area and Twic County, Warrap State, to assess the humanitarian impact of hostilities in neighboring areas. The assessment found that the spillover effects of road insecurity and IDP influxes are affecting commodity supply chains and straining livelihoods, trade, and household finances. As transporters are reluctant to travel along insecure roads, supplies of food and other commodities are increasingly scarce, prompting increased competition among host and IDP communities for limited resources. The prices of key commodities—including cooking oil, sorghum, sugar, and wheat flour—have increased by approximately 25 percent. Relief agencies remain concerned regarding potential disease outbreaks among vulnerable communities due to increased population displacement, limited access to safe drinking water, inadequate sanitation facilities, malnutrition, and limited access to health care services, according to the U.N. World Health Organization (WHO). Insecurity has resulted in the closure of many health care facilities, as well as the displacement of essential health care personnel and subsequent interruption of health care services. HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE ACTIVITIES Humanitarian organizations have reached nearly 291,000 people with humanitarian assistance since hostilities erupted on December 15; however, the U.N. notes that relief agencies have not fully met needs among assisted populations due to a lack of sustained, predictable access. As population displacement continues to increase, relief agencies are conducting needs assessments in areas with significant displaced populations. Relief organizations recently conducted interagency rapid needs assessments in Dorein, Old Fangkak, Pibor, and Phom towns in Jonglei, and Wau Shiluk town, Upper Nile. Humanitarian agencies will plan and implement response activities to address assessed needs in these areas as security and access permit. Despite insecurity and access constraints, relief organizations have reached approximately 187,100 conflict-affected people with food assistance since December 22, including 62,400 people in Lakes; 32,600 in Juba town, Central Equatoria State; 32,200 in Upper Nile; 27,300 in Jonglei; 23,200 in Unity; and 6,700 in Warrap; and additional populations in Eastern Equatoria, Western Bahr el Ghazal, and Western Equatoria states, according to the U.N. Humanitarian organizations are addressing potential disease outbreaks through early warning systems and vaccination activities where access allows. In response to growing health concerns, the Government of the Republic of South Sudan (RSS) Ministry of Health, WHO, and other health partners have established early warning surveillance systems at IDP sites in Central Equatoria, Jonglei, Lakes, and Warrap. To prevent health risks related to potential cases of cholera, the RSS and WHO are proposing to implement an oral cholera vaccination campaign in IDP and host communities, with initial activities prioritized in Juba and Awerial County, Lakes. Vaccination activities in Bentiu, Bor, and Malakal town, Upper Nile, would require cold chain capacity, which is currently lacking due to insecurity and fuel shortages. Ongoing, large-scale measles and polio vaccination campaigns have reached more than 7,300 children in Juba; approximately 11,300 children in Nimule town, Eastern Equatoria; and more than 4,000 children in Lankien town, Jonglei, to date. Since hostilities began on December 15, International Organization for Migration (IOM) and partners have distributed relief items—including blankets, buckets, cotton fabric, kitchen utensils, mosquito nets, sleeping mats, soap, and water containers—to nearly 164,100 people, IOM reports. The Logistics Cluster has transported nearly 217 metric tons (MT) of relief items—including food, health, shelter, and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) supplies—via road and air between January 24 and 27 to facilitate humanitarian response activities in conflict-affected areas across the country. 2 Since December 15, USAID/OFDA has supported nine projects—valuing nearly $2.5 million—through the IOM- managed Rapid Response Fund (RRF) in response to increased humanitarian needs across South Sudan, including in the UNMISS bases in Bentiu, Juba, and Malakal, as well as in Awerial. With nearly $3 million in FY 2014 funding, USAID/OFDA partner Mentor is implementing comprehensive vector- borne disease control programs in Abyei Area, Lakes, Upper Nile, and Warrap. The programs aim to control and reduce the burden and impact of malaria and other vector-borne diseases among vulnerable IDP and host community populations affected by conflict, displacement, and flooding. Central Equatoria Despite significant improvements in WASH conditions among displaced populations at the UNMISS Tong Ping and U.N. House 3 bases in Juba, additional interventions are required due to overcrowding. The WASH Cluster reports an urgent need for additional latrines and bathing shelters, as well as improved drainage systems, at Tong Ping. While relief agencies are evaluating additional civilian protection sites in U.N. House 3 to alleviate crowded living conditions, humanitarian actors—including USAID/OFDA partners—are providing WASH support and distributing WASH supplies to the estimated 38,600 IDPs sheltering at both UNMISS

Reports of up to 45,000 based in Paloich were initially received by OCHA from RRC and UNMISS staff based in Melut but then subsequent information was received that they had moved to Dethoma. An IRNA mission from Malakal was conducted on 31 January 2014. Due to delays in the deployment by helicopter, the RRC Coordinator was unable to meet the team but we were able to speak to the Deputy Paramount Chief, Chief and a ROSS NGO at the site. The local NGO (Woman Empowerment for Cooperation and Development) had said they had conducted a preliminary registration that showed the presence of 3,075 households. The community leaders said that the camp contained approximately 26,000 individuals. The IRNA team could only visually estimate 5 – 6000 potentially displaced however some may have been absent at the river. The camp is situated on an open field provided and cleared by the Melut County Commissioner, with a river approximately 300metres to the south. There is no cover and as most IDPs had walked to this location, they had carried very minimal NFIs or food.

With Malakal as its capital, the state has 13 counties with Akoka being the most recent. Upper Nile shares borders with Southern Kordofan and Unity in the west, Ethiopia and Blue Nile in the east, Jonglei in the south, and White Nile in the north. The state has four main tribes: Shilluk (mainly in Panyikang, Fashoda and Manyo Counties), Dinka (dominant in Baliet, Akoka, Melut and Renk Counties), Jikany Nuer (in Nasir and Ulang Counties), Gajaak Nuer (in Longochuk and Maiwut), Berta (in Maban County), Burun (in Maban and Longochok Counties), Dajo in Longochuk County and Mabani in Maban County. Security and Political History Since inception of the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), Upper Nile State has witnessed a challenging security and political environment, due to the fact that it was the only state in Southern Sudan that had a Governor from the National Congress Party (NCP). (The CPA called for at least one state in Southern Sudan to be given to the NCP.) There were basically three reasons why Upper Nile was selected amongst all the 10 states to accommodate the NCP’s slot in the CPA arrangements.

  • South Sudan 2015 Human Rights Report
    SOUTH SUDAN 2015 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY South Sudan is a republic operating under a transitional constitution signed into law upon declaration of independence from Sudan in 2011. President Salva Kiir Mayardit, whose authority derives from his 2010 election as president of what was then the semiautonomous region of Southern Sudan within the Republic of Sudan, led the country. While the 2010 Sudan-wide elections did not wholly meet international standards, international observers believed Kiir’s election reflected the will of a large majority of Southern Sudanese. International observers considered the 2011 referendum on South Sudanese self-determination, in which 98 percent of voters chose to separate from Sudan, to be free and fair. President Kiir is a founding member of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) political party, the political wing of the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA). Of the 27 ministries, only 21 had appointed ministers in charge, of which 19 are SPLM representatives. The bicameral legislature consists of 332 seats in the National Legislative Assembly (NLA), of which 296 were filled, and 50 seats in the Council of States. SPLM representatives controlled the vast majority of seats in the legislature. Through presidential decrees Kiir replaced eight of the 10 state governors elected since 2010. The constitution states that an election must be held within 60 days if an elected governor has been relieved by presidential decree. This has not happened. The legislature lacked independence, and the ruling party dominated it. Civilian authorities failed at times to maintain effective control over the security forces. In 2013 armed conflict between government and opposition forces began after violence erupted within the Presidential Guard Force (PG) of the SPLA, also known as the Tiger Division.

  • The Conflict in Upper Nile State Describes Events Through 9 October 2014
    The Conflict in Upper Nile State Describes events through 9 October 2014 On 9 May 2014 the Government of the Republic of South Sudan (GRSS) and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/Army in Opposition (SPLM/A-IO) recommitted to the 23 January agreement on the cessation of hostilities. However, while the onset of the rainy season reduced the intensity of the conflict over the next four months, clashes continued. Neither side has established a decisive advantage. The Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) retains control of Malakal, the Upper Nile state capital, and much of the centre and west of the state. The period from May to August saw intermittent clashes around Nasir, as the SPLA-IO unsuccessfully attempted to recapture the town, which had been the centre of its recruitment drives during the first four months of the conflict. The main area of SPLA-IO operations is now around Wadakona in Manyo county, on the west bank of the Nile. In September rebels based in this area launched repeated assaults on Renk county near the GRSS’s sole remaining functioning oil field at Paloich. Oil production in Upper Nile was seriously reduced by clashes in February and March 2013, and stopped altogether in Unity state in December 2013. The SPLA increasingly struggles to pay its soldiers’ wages. On 6 September fighting broke out in the south of Malakal after soldiers commanded by Major General Johnson Olony, who had previously led the principally Shilluk South Sudan Defence Movement/Army, complained about unpaid wages. Members of the Abialang Dinka, who live close to Paloich, report that the SPLA is training 1,500 new recruits due to desertions and troops joining the rebels.

  • GOAL EMR062.16 Report
    Final Report Presented to the Isle of Man Government Provision of essential supplies to support lifesaving humanitarian assistance for conflict affected and displaced populations in Upper Nile State, South Sudan A supply delivery in Ulang County Introduction Humanitarian needs in South Sudan are at their highest since the December 2013 conflict that led three million to flee their homes as IDPs or refugees to neighbouring countries. The conflict in South Sudan is showing little sign of abating. In 2016, the humanitarian crisis in South Sudan deepened and spread, affecting people in areas previously considered stable and exhausting the coping capacity of those already impacted. The Humanitarian Needs Overview estimated that nearly 7.5 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance and protection across the country as per the end of 2016, as a result of armed conflict, inter-communal violence, economic crisis, disease outbreaks and climatic shocks. The government of the Isle of Man supported GOAL with a £20,000 grant to provide vital and life-saving health and nutrition programming to vulnerable and conflict-affected populations of Melut, Maiwut and Ulang Counties, Upper Nile State. Project Aim This project aimed at providing lifesaving humanitarian assistance to conflict-affected and displaced populations in Upper Nile State, South Sudan. Project Objectives This project intended to deliver supplies to GOAL field sites in Upper Nile State. Programmatic and operational supplies stored in GOAL warehouse in Juba needed to be urgently airlifted to Melut, Maiwut and Ulang Counties in order to avoid any supply chain Melut rupture, especially for drugs and food commodities needed for primary health care facilities and nutrition services.

Security: Level 3 1 Objectives of Assessments 1. Using the GPS unit and Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) tools, assess the Melut-Renk Road for humanitarian access; assess capacity at Paloich truck transport market. 2. Identify possible locations for installation of Mobile Storage Units (MSUs) as required to respond to ongoing gathering of displaced beneficiaries in Renk Town, Renk County. 3. Conduct SDI airstrip assessment for new airstrip in Renk. 4. Assess Renk Port; http://www.logcluster.org/ops/sudan/renk_port_assessment_report/view 5. Assess Renk-Melut river corridor. 2 Background The influx of South Sudanese, returning or displaced, entering thru the northern Nile corridor has exposed a need for immediate humanitarian support, while observing strategic humanitarian priorities. The majority of IDPs/returnees are, so far, congregated in Renk, Upper Nile State. The Logistics Cluster, at the request of UNOCHA was tasked with assessing logistics capabilities to support the appropriate response from the humanitarian community. A previous inter-agency mission was conducted to Melut, on the 10 July 2011, assessing river access and warehousing opportunities in Melut (http://www.logcluster.org/ops/sudan/malakal_melut_river_assessment_report). UNHCR is planning to develop a way station at Melut, this will provide much needed humanitarian support and a feasible alternative to the concentration of services in Renk (which is approx 20 km from the South Sudan/Sudan border).
